Not Your Name

Three delicate night faeries
Lighter than firefly dew
Flickering in the meadow
Beyond the ocean blue

Showing us the way
To secrets unknown to many
I heard one of them whisper
My name is Penny

Not your name! another cautioned her
That might turn mortals in the wrong direction
I smiled at Penny, the loose-lipped faerie.
Suddenly feeling a bit of joyful affection.
